IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
TheCalifornia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Cafifornia to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Thefiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

Never leave the surfhce btm_ers unattended
at high flame settings. Boik)vers cause
smoking and _easy spillovers that may
catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
Use only dUpot holders--moist or damp pot
holders on hot surtaces may result in bums
flom steam. Do not let pot holders come
near open flames when liNng cookware. Do
not use a towel or other bulky clod1 in place
of a pot holder.
_%en using glass cook, s-are, make sure it
is designed fbr top-of:range cooking.
To minimize the possibility of bums, i_fition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back of
the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
Carefldly watch fbods being flied at a high
flame setting.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air fiom the vent may i_fite flammable
items and _sdllincrease pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
K a combination of oils or fats will be used
in fl}4ng, stir together befbre heating or
as fats melt slowly.
Use a deep fat the_nometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
Do not operate the btmmr without all btmmr
parts in place.
Use the least possible amount of tat fbr
effective shallow or deep-fat fi?4ng. Filling
the pan too fldl of fat can cause spillovers
when fbod is added.
Do not flame fbods on the cooktop. If you do
flame fbods under the hood, mm the fan on.
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner _ate to support the
wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may
damage the burner _ate and burner head.
Also, it may cause the burner to work
improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by cmTent
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
Foods fbr fi}4ng should be as dUas possible.
Frost on flozen tbods or moisture on flesh
tbods can cause hot tat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
Never try to move a pan of hot tat, especially
a deep fat flyer Wait until the fat is cool
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
Keep all plastics ms'ayfiom the surface
bm_ ers.
To avoid the possibility of a bum, always be
certain that the controls fbr all burners are
at the OFFposition and all grates are cool
befbre attempting to remove them.
If range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and create a fire hazard.
If you smell gas, mm off the gas to the range
and call a qualified sen,ice technician. Never
use an ()pen flame to locate a leak.
Always turn the surtace burner controls off
befbre rem(Mng cookware.
g%en disabling range lock-out, make
sure the surface controls are set to the OFF
position. This will preclude gas flow when the
range is mined on.

Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in
an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with
fight-fitting lids when cooMng with
IlliniIlltllIl _t/IlOtlnts Of _,V_t{eI-
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets
will give safisfimtory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions,
the enamel of some cookware may
melt. Follow cookware manufimmrer's
recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass
cookware--[hose for oven rise oIll} _
and those for top-ofqange cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots).
(;lass conducts heat veIT slow/>
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used
for eidler surfiice or oven cooking. It
c(mducts heat veiTslowly and cools veIT
slowly. Check cookware manufi_cmrer's
directions to be sure it can be used on gas
ranges.
Stainless Steel: This meud akme has
poor heating properties and is usually
combined with coppe_; aJuminum
or other metals for improved heat
disuibufion. Combination metal skillets
usually work sadsfitctorily if they are used
with medium heat as the manuf_cturer
recommends.
Stove TopGrills
Do not use stove top Anills on your seated
gas burners. If you use the stove top glill
on the sealed gas burne_; it will cause
incomplete combustion and can result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards.
Thiscanbehazardoustoyourhealth.
Use a fiat-bottomed wok,

These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven contintles to

plug at the other end that goes into
the outlet in the oven.

quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same dine, creating a rich

¼,qlen you are convecdon raw,sting,
it is important that you use a broiler pan
and gqid designed for broiling for best
convection roasdng results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills, and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters while

increase browning on the underside
of the meat or poultry.
